Pilot juice up 03 Retractable Gel Ink Pen, Hyper Fine Point 0.3mm, Black Ink, Value Set

I love these pens! I got a pack as gift from my coworkers last year, and I had to get a set of the black pens. I had used the Pentel Needle Tip (0.3) Energel liquid gel ink, and while they are smoother, the ink runs out way too fast! The Pilot Juice Up 0.3 works comparable to the Pentel Pen. It lasts way longer and you get more pens. Hopefully they don’t dry out by the time I use up the ink in the first pen.

High quality work great last long

These pens write very smoothly and the ink flow is consistent. I can also wipe the paper immediately after writing with no smudging. Previously I used the Pilot Hi Tex C4 (0.4mm) and loved the thin width as well as the long and thin nib but this pen is much better in every way. The C4s would stop flowing randomly and would smudge very easily even after writing a whole line on a page. The only complaint I have about the Juice Up 0.3mm is that the pen itself is incredibly light, hollow, and cheap feeling. Regardless, this is my new go-to pen!

I wrote really small and after moving to the states from Asia and was shocked and dismayed to find 0.7mm listed as “fine” in the typical American stationary stores with 0.5mm being the smallest tip size if I was lucky enough to even find that! There are a couple of other pens that I like that are Japanese but these have been the ones I’ve been using lately. I like the sleek design and they last a really long time. I gifted several of these pens to family members after they borrowed one and fell in love. The ink is very smooth and dries quite quickly. It does not have the tacky gel consistency your typical stationary stores have. I highly recommend and will no doubt be purchasing more. I do wish they were a tad cheaper but for me it’s 100% worth it still.

Perfect planner pen! Smooth flow! Zero smearing! Tiny point that lets me write in even the smallest spaces! You can use these on literally ANY planner paper, no matter how thin, and get zero shadowing or bleed-through. Took me 15 years to find, and I can’t imagine ever switching from these!

Great pens if you like a fine point. A little overpriced, but durable and long lasting.

This is my favorite pen of all time. It writes so fine which is very helpful as I often have to write details in very tiny spaces. Since it is a ball point the ink doesn’t run which is also very helpful. Any one that uses my pen is shocked with how it writes often asking if it’s pencil and where they can get their own. The single drawback is that because of its amazingly fine lines and equally fine tip, if it is dropped or someone pushes too hard when writing, it can render the pen useless. A small price to pay for writing excellence. Will continue to buy again and again.

the pens dry great but they dry out quickly and getting replacement ink is hard
